There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 38 of Psalms. Psalm 38 presents physical suffering, guilt, and social isolation within a single penitential prayer. The psalmist’s wounds are interpreted in relation to his sin, but the text does not reduce all human illness to a mechanical explanation: the center is the plea for mercy. Friends and enemies become part of the anguish, while the psalmist maintains an attitude of waiting before God and ends by asking the Lord not to be far away.

Denn deine Pfeile stecken in mir, und deine Hand drückt mich.
No hay sanidad en mi carne a causa de tu ira; Ni hay paz en mis huesos a causa de mi pecado.
No hay parte sana en mi carne a causa de tu ira, ni hay paz en mis huesos a causa de mi pecado.
Il n'y a rien de sain dans ma chair à cause de ta colère, Il n'y a plus de vigueur dans mes os à cause de mon péché.
Egli non vi è nulla di sano nella mia carne, per cagione della tua ira; Le mie ossa non hanno requie alcuna, per cagion del mio peccato.
Não há coisa sã na minha carne, por causa da tua cólera; nem há paz em meus ossos, por causa do meu pecado.
因你的惱怒,我的肉無一完全; 因我的罪過,我的骨頭也不安寧。
